S Bn 5' Snlzial Hnur These are the people Who, together With the Girls' Social Hour Com- mittee, are responsible for the success of the social functions of T. H. S. They take your money at the door of the cafeteria when there's a dance being held. They hand you a ticket and pass you into the inner sanctum. They take tickets at the door, and rotate half hour stints at the cloakroom during the social hours after the games. They organize committees for decorating the Senior prom, the Junior prom, the Chronicle dance, and other formal affairs. They have complete charge of the food and drink concession. This year, with our oversized student body, they have had a very difficult job, and deserve much credit for their efficiency and their original ideas. T. D. Romero was their sponsor, as usual. Lee Carey was president, Tom Fridena, vice-president, and John Nevvburn, secretary- treasurer. 137

,Vx '- Q' QQQXMO Qt N l ! l Girls Social Huur What activity ticket's good tonight'?l' How many times that one question is asked of members of the Social Hour Committee at the dances after the games. Of course, selling tickets at the dances isn't the Girls' Social Hour Committee's only duty. They also have charge of the cloak room. Forti- fied with straight pins in one hand and check stubs in the other, the com- mittee bravely waits for the doors to open. Then comes the stampede. Coats and jackets Hy thick and fast, as the girls run back and forth des- perately trying to arrange them in order. Special instructions go with practically every coat or sweater. This year's president was Lorena DeSanctis, and vice-president was Earlene Boyd, with Betty Walker as secretary-treasurer. Other members include Shirley Arter, Sara Bartley, Peggy Boice, Carolyn Brady, Catherine Edwards, Mary Kay Ellingston, Miriam Hamilton, Betty Howell, Helen Mclntosh, Irma Padres, Josephine Starker, and Shirley Talmage. The following girls are also on Miss Calanthe Brazelton's Dean's Com- mittee and have given an hour's service each day at the school: Connie Fish, Pat Ingle, Mary Jo Lemas, June Mikell, Marilyn Myerson, and Mil- ford Wilson, These girls deserve a great deal of credit as they have done an excellent job and have not received recognition other than the fact that the Dean's Office is one of the most smoothly run in the school. 136 2. ull

Hell Crass High on the list of Tucson High's achievements is the excellent job the Junior Red Cross has done. A co-ordinating committee of thirteen students working with Miss Calanthe Brazelton, adviser, planned the projects for the year and saw that they were successfully carried out. President of the Council was Brad Tolson, with Winston Gin as vice-president, Milford Wilson as secretary, and Mary J o Lemas as treasurer. The other members were Prina Stanley, Ben Hill, Joe Starker, Jim Tolley, Ted Bushnell, Tom Burrows, Marilyn Myerson, Emily Jane Vasey, and Betty Morrow. Under this committee were the chairmen, who worked with their individual homerooms to carry out the projects. More than 3460.00 was collected to fill the Wartime Quota. The Hos- pital Recreation Quota Was also filled. Games, writing portfolios, lap trays, canes, wash cloths, and ash trays were sent to the wounded veterans re- cuperating in hospitals all over the country. Locally, a bed was maintained in the Comstock Hospital for a crippled child. In order to fill these quotas, various methods were used. On November 16, a vaudeville was given in the auditorium, followed by a dance in the cafeteria. The talent for the show was gathered from the homerooms. The full length movies, The Count of Monte Cristo and Pot 0' Gold, met with approval from the student body. A radio program given from the stage in our auditorium and broad- cast over KTUC, introduced to Tucson the members of the Junior Red Cross Council. Tom Burrows was emcee. 138 '
